Alongside my long-term collaboration with Gibson and Pussy Riot, I have pursued commercial direction and video production for a broad range of clients. This portfolio showcases some of my additional work for AKAI, the Recording Academy, BMI, and MusiCares, and highlights multi-year work for Desert Daze and the Festival of Tabla.
I was commissioned to direct this spot for Akai to announce their new product, the MPK mini play mk3, a portable MIDI controller with built-in speaker and battery. To highlight its portability, we toured Los Angeles with musician Taetro as he composed a track in these inspiring locations.

I've been covering the Festival of Tabla since 2023. The event is one of the world's major gatherings of premier Indian classical musical talent, spanning generations. This festival presents the rare opportunity to document master musicians, or gurus, performing and passing on the tradition to their students, who are becoming the next-generation leaders of Indian classical music.

I've worked with Desert Daze since 2014, on both the camera teams and running multitrack audio capture. Desert Daze is a homegrown Los Angeles psych rock festival that grew from a roadhouse to a multi-day, multi-stage weekend event. The festival is legendary among music fans and I am proud to have served on the media team documenting and promoting this cultural and artistic movement.
In 2017 I was in charge of recording the audio of the entire festival with a team of engineers for the Desert Daze archive. One of the highlights was recording Iggy Pop from underneath the stage for these live performance videos directed by Anthony Ferrara.

I've been on the media team for Desert Daze for many years, working both on the audio capture side and as a camera operator. This unique festival went from an underground who's who of the Los Angeles psych rock scene to a major festival booking acts like Tame Impala.
Camera Operator
Editor on the virtual festival content delivery team for the 2021 and 2022 editions. I cut performance sets for Tom The Mailman, A$AP Ty and others, and edited event sizzle pieces from the video archives. I also directed a series of exclusive interviews featured on HBO Max as part of the Adult Swim partnership, with Rick and Morty voice actress Spencer Grammer, and show creators Genndy Tartakovsky, Alyson Levy (NY), and Alissa Nutting (LA).
